Rudy Capildeo, partner at Charles Russell Speechlys
We have recently acted for a number of clients who either have had the misfortune of having to call on their insurance when a piece of artwork has been damaged or where we have been instructed by insurers to bring a swift resolution to a spurious claim, writes Rudy Capildeo.
Case 1: Our clients were private collectors who instructed a shipper to remove and store their collection of paintings, sculptures and furniture from their home while it was being redecorated. When the time came for the works to be returned, the shipper accidentally smashed one of the clients’ pieces of porcelain.
